Tenant FAQ – New Leaf Legacy Living

🌱 Is this a lease or tenancy?

No. This is a membership-based shared housing program, not a traditional lease. Members receive a license to occupy, which can be revoked if rules are not followed.

🌱 Who is this housing for?

Our homes serve adults seeking stability during life transitions, including veterans, returning citizens, former foster youth, interns, working professionals, and individuals with fixed incomes.

🌱 How long can I stay?

Typical stays range from 3 to 12 months, with the option to stay longer if needed based on progress, availability, and program alignment.

🌱 What are the expectations?

Members must follow house rules, maintain cleanliness, respect others, pay housing fees on time, and participate in scheduled check-ins.

🌱 Is this a treatment or medical program?

No. New Leaf Legacy Living is housing-focused and non-clinical. We do not provide medical, mental health, or substance abuse treatment services.

🌱 Are guests allowed?

Guest policies vary by home. Overnight guests are generally not permitted unless approved.

🌱 What happens if rules are violated?

Violations may result in corrective action or termination of membership, depending on severity.

🌱 Is housing guaranteed once I apply?

No. Applications are reviewed to ensure safety, compatibility, and program fit. Placement is not guaranteed.

🌱 Will I have my own room?

Room arrangements vary by property. Some homes offer private rooms, while others may include shared accommodations. Availability is based on the specific home and current occupancy.

🌱 Do I need to be working to live here?

Members must have verifiable income, benefits, or a placement plan (such as employment, internship, SSI/SSA, or VA benefits). The goal is stability and the ability to meet housing obligations.

🌱 Are background and credit checks conducted?

Yes. Background and credit reviews may be conducted as part of the screening process; however, they are not strict and are evaluated on a case-by-case basis. The focus is on safety, stability, and program fit—not perfection or past mistakes.
